There are several severe red flags on FIRST NOTCH TRADING's website.
To start with, this broker presents zero details about its company information as well as necessary trading documents (i.e. terms and conditions, privacy policy, risk disclosure, etc.). Lacking for such vital information is already a huge red flag for potential traders.
Besides, this broker claims to be guaranteed and regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). There are three organizations named SEC from different countries (the US, the Philippines and Nigeria), however, FIRST NOTCH TRADING doesn't clarify which SEC it is. According to its phone number +1 (910) 502-3617, which belongs to the US, this broker basically refers to the US SEC. However, the US SEC is not the regulator that approves licenses for brokers carrying out forex trading, and we didn't find such match in the registers of the US SEC, let alone regulatory authorities.
So FIRST NOTCH TRADING is currently not regulated by any financial regulator. That means investors’ funds in this broker is unsafe and cannot be protected by any laws. Therefore, it is a scam broker.
